I am such a diva.

Seriously. My last post? Pathetic.

I'm in the high-tech business! I know that information flows in at warp speed and part of my job is to manage it well.

I guess I just wasn't managing it well right at that moment so I whined a little.

I apologize. You guys deserve better than that. Like TV trivia, perhaps.

Ok, so what about Dexter? Is anyone watching that right now? I am so hooked on that show, when Deborah dropped yet another f-bomb in a conversation in the last episode, I looked at G.G. and said, 'You know, she's charming in kind of a prickly, fresh, no bullshit way.' He just looked at me and said he didn't think she could be considered charming..that wasn't quite the right word.

Ok, G.G.

And what about House??? I love that show, I do, but I have to confess, it's starting to wear on me a little. I'm tiring of the incessant mind games, though I love the new characters, and the reintro of the older ones...that was cool. But it's starting to feel strained and really contrived to me. This has happened before, where I'm forced to take a House break, so I'm not too worried, just noticing is all.

And Grey's Anatomy? WTH? Teddy..poor Teddy. And Derek and Meredith, can they handle this setback? And what about Avery and Lexi and...there is a whole buttload of darkness right now that they need to start digging out of, in  my opin. The prior episode had some of the older style lightness and banter and general humor that we've all come to love in those characters/situations..but this last one. Yikes. I had just started to believe that the beloved crew could work their myriad problems out..now, I'm not so sure. And honestly, I would have watched this week's episode no matter what anyway!

Oh, and those of you who know me will love this. I won the football pool this week! It was no small feat, and it came down to points at the very end (which my boss, who happened to be in the running, too, is protesting...something about combined score closest to, but not over, which was the rule for the last pool we had but not for this one so I was two points over the combined but he was six points under so technically I was closest) so it was exciting and G.G. actually kept me updated during the annual boys soccer banquet last night..he'd occasionally whisper the score...which felt a little clandestine, and fun..

I don't know for sure what the pot looks like, but I'm going to split it with G.G.

Because we all know that without his insight, I'd NEVER stand a chance of winning that silly pool, even for just one week.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

May I please be excused?

When G.G. was sorting through the mail the other night he stopped, then started to chuckle. And then he handed me an envelope in which a Jury Summons was contained. He chuckled because he has been called twice, and I have never been called. And for some reason he thought that wasn't right, or fair, or something. Well, I got mine. But it turns out I need to ask them a favor. To postpone my civic duty until after the holidays. Because before the holidays I am responsible for planning and overseeing and/or executing all year end marketing and PR for our little company, as well as publishing our final edition of an e-pub that now distributes to over 300K people each edition, so it needs to look good. And not have spelling errors and stuff. And then when that e-pub flies? I'll be flying, literally, to Providence, then to Europe and the Middle East. There's a lot to get done before I go, and I'm desperately hoping that our jury management system accepts my reque

Running Shoes...with Waves

Remember when you had one pair of tennies and they were for everything? Everything. Those days ended for me in high school when I started to run in earnest. In Nike Pegasus, their original running shoe, in white leather with a red swoosh. They were cushiony and durable and made me feel like less of a poser and more like a real runner. After that the style options exploded. I can't remember when Nike came out with their patented Air technology, but I had one of the original pairs..paid a ton of money for them, but it was money well spent. I ran all over the place in those things. All over. The foothills, the valley, sidewalks, parks, around the Academy, wherever...many miles in the originals. Generations of shoes later, I find myself not so happy with the Nike anymore. I've spent thousands of dollars on them in my life, but a few years back began to notice what I deemed to be a general decline in quality, though they've never stopped increasing their prices with ea
